The fire department in the west central Texas town of Big Spring was to meet with city staff today to discuss fire codes relating to modular homes made from shipping containers that the city council voted to allow in at their last meeting. As MHProNews has learned from cbs7kosa, the city fire chief says inspections will begin as soon as the ordinance that permits these homes becomes official.
